It maybe that the person who designed Site Advisor, hasnt updated it for
version 3 yet, there are quite a few addons that arent updated for FF3.
hopefully they will update soon, I like Site Advisor.

I have almost all mine updated now, but then I don't use a lot of
add-ons. Sometimes you can find an update by going to the author's
site, but they are often beta versions, so be aware of that.

The extension is *updated* for Version 3, but that doesn't really doesn't mean
much. I created a new profile with only "McAfee Site Advisor" extension and get
the problem, so can't blame it on "AVG Safe Search" which kind of looks like it
has similar problems, in addition to serious problems that it causes.

I was shocked at how fast Site Advisor ran without other extensions, but then I
saw in the new profile, I was only getting 10 hits per search instead of 100

BTW, if you update AVG on your system, it installed "AVG Safe Search" which
causes problems on both Fx2 and Fx3 -- it says not for Fx3 but that doesn't
stop it from being installed on all of your browsers. If you simply disable it,
you will have the same problems again on a new profile, so suggest removing
that component. Paste the following into location bar so you pick up the full link.http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/firef...#avgsafesearch
